| Dear Friend of Terraset,
Last week saw the beginning of the
end-of-year class parties in the school and a lot of fun was had by
all. It also brought the sad news that Ms. Carter's mother died
unexpectedly. We extend our condolences to Ms. Carter, Terraset's
Assistant Principal, and her family who have been great supporters
of the school and its PTA since they joined the community just two
years ago. You will find details of the funeral arrangements below.
In the midst of these events, Field
Day has arrived! Thanks in advance to all those who volunteered to
help. Hope you and the kids have a great time. Don't forget your water
bottles!
Of course, there is plenty going on
at the school with the Scholastic Book Fair starting today and running
through tomorrow evening. This is a good opportunity to gather
your summer reading. The language Arts and Social Studies Night is set
for Tuesday evening. Try to get there to see the product of your
children's hard work in these study areas AND get your copy of Tiger Tales hot off the press.
The sixth grade end of year party is
scheduled for this week too! The kids and their parents have been
planning for a number of weeks now, so let's hope everyone has a great
time.
The PTA Board has started to plan
for next year. We would appreciate your help. Above, you will have seen
a link to a survey. It will only take two minutes for you to finish, so
could you complete it now and not put it off until later? That would be
a great help.
This will probably be our last
communication before the end of the school year. So, enjoy your summer
and keep in touch with your friends!

Math Superstars Celebrate
Outback Opens Its Doors Again!
Outback in Herndon, Terraset's major
Business partner, again congratulated about 65 of Terraset's
Math Superstars by hosting a lunch for them last Thursday!
The kids worked hard all year to
complete the 25 Math Superstars worksheets, earning themselves a
T-shirt in addition to an invitation to lunch!
Of course, the kids were not the
only ones working hard. A team of PTA volunteers, coordinated by Marina
Tignor, worked as graders throughout the year earning themselves a
big vote of thanks for their efforts.
The students who earned the highest number of stars at each grade level were:

Gr. 1 - Logan Minto
Gr. 2 - Emma Grossback
Gr. 3 - Klara Goldman
Gr. 4 - Shirin Yavari
Gr. 5 - Anna Tignor
Gr. 6 - Joyce Phelps
Congratulations to all our Math
Superstars! At least 90 students participated in the program this
year... that's over 20% of our kids.
Well Done!

Teachers vs Sixth Grade!
Kick-ball Tradition Continues
We are not too sure of the final score, but we know the Teachers
continued their winning streak at the annual Teachers vs Sixth
Grade kick-ball game on Friday.
The teachers fielded a strong team
with standout plays by Mr. Grumbach making at least two
catches, Mr. Patterson covering the whole field, Mrs. Forman managing
to run the bases even though she forgot her running shoes, and
Mrs. Kimberly Mathews demonstrating very consistent bowling (or is
it called pitching) skills throughout the game.
It looked like there were hundreds
of sixth graders as they buzzed around the field at the end of each
inning. Considering most of their opponents were twice their size
(except for Miss McGrane) they did a great job to keep the teachers at
only four runs!

Important Immunization
Requirement:
Do You Have a Student Entering Sixth Grade Next Year?
If yes, he or she may need a booster dose of Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria,
acellular pertussis). Sixth grade students cannot begin school in the
fall without documentation of having had either the Tdap booster OR
documentation of having had a tetanus-containing vaccine within the
last five years. Parents and guardians of current fifth graders
should check their child's immunization records.
